The Mitsubishi WD60C9

The WD60C9 is one heck of a TV. It has great HD, 3 HDMI ports, 3D capability, and is a whopping 60″ big. At a retail price of around $1200, this is a great feature set for a cheaper TV. There are a few things to be aware of, though, before shelling out any money for the WD60C9.

The first is that Mitsubishi support is terrible. I spent 5 hours on the phone with 8 customer service representatives trying to figure out why part of the image on my TV was getting cut off. I never got an answer. Since this issue only happened when hooking up to my computer, I sent a note to Nvdia Support. There they found the TV, did some testing, and told me that it wasn’t what is called overscan, but A frequency issue. Who is at fault? Mistubishi. So for now, I’m using Nvidia’s resize desktop option and I’m running on slightly less than 1080p HD resolution. This is disappointing, because I bought the TV for full HD 3D, and I’m not getting full HD. But, I digress.

Nvidia 3d Vision Kit

3D is coming. It’s coming fast, whether you like it or not. Nice thing to know if you’re a gamer is, Nvidia has you covered. Not to mention that these are the cheapest wireless 3d shutter glasses (of descent decent quality) that I have found to date.

The Nvidia 3d vision kit comes with everything you need to get your compatible system up and running, but there are a few requirements that even the most powerful systems in the world typically won’t even meet, so read carefully, or you may waste $200, and have hours of frustration.

  • First, and Foremost: You need a 120hz monitor or a 3D compatible DLP tv or a 3D projector.
  • Second: You need an Nvidia video card that is a 9800 or above.
  • Third: You should have at least a Dual-Core Processor or better.

For a full list of requirements, please, look here, and download the system checker to see if your system can run 3D.

Now that I’ve given you a full disclaimer, lets get to the reviewing.
